Title : Some practical hints on climate change and control towards sustainable medicine, behavioral health and psychiatry
Abstract:
The present study is conducted towards sustainable medicine, behavioral health and psychiatry for sustainable national development. The process of applying climate impact assessment (CIA) and sustainable development in addiction treatment plans, programs, polices, and legislative actions while targeting mitigation of alcohol addiction, drug addiction, gambling addiction and gadget addiction that are integrated with climate change and control. The various addiction among street children and their impact on sustainable development integrated with climate change and control aspects as there are alarming state variables and attributes degrading society and the environment. There are large number of street children found in India in Metro cities like, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai engage in various addiction products and process. There is lack of effective and efficient method to mitigate this major problem of addiction impact assessment (AIA) process. It is necessary to incorporate sustainability and environment into organizational planning and decision-making process. All developers should take essential steps to deal with this problem towards sustainable national development which is a kind of national development that satisfies current demands without jeopardizing the effectiveness and efficiency of future generations to satiate their own requirements As sustainable development is integrated with CIA, investigations are provided entitled “climate change and control towards sustainable national development”.
“Climate” can be defined as the prevailing or average weather of a place as determined by temperature, precipitation, wind rose, glaciation, frequency of inversion, extreme weather events such as cyclones, tornadoes, cloud burst, typhoons, and hurricanes and environmental quality such as air, water and land quality. Long term variations in average temperature are the most important variables and attributes of climate change.
Change in weather conditions occur in an area over a long period of time such as temperature, humidity, dew point, pressure, volume, wind rose, air movement, photo chemical smog and sunlight energy (photo energy) due to biogenic and anthropogenic activities. Climate change is an evolution in the degree of certainty by biogenic and anthropogenic activities in causing the past half century’s rapid rise of 1.1°C in global average surface temperature of 14.9 °C from 13.8 °C , and climate sensitivity factor of 0.5 °C / W/m2 and net radiating force of 0.9-1.7 W/m2 , since mid-twentieth century is due to the observed increase in biogenic and anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations, the Antarctic and Greenland ice cores, sea floor sediments, glacial movements, changes in ice volume and sea volume and fossil pollen microorganisms. Global warming is the most important environmental challenge for the twenty first century. The climate change and control can be defined as the power to limit and regulate climate change as per sustainable environmental pollution and control standards. The ‘greenhouse effect’ is one of the environmental problems that have resulted either directly or indirectly from the biogenic and anthropogenic activities. The role of the human population on social and environmental change is given by the equation. I = P X A X T where the impact ‘I’ of the population on the social and environmental results from the size of the population (P) , the per capita affluence or consumption (A) and the environmental damage by the technologies (T) employed to supply each unit of consumption . As ‘P’ increases so too does ‘T’ because supplied to additional people that must be mined from deeper ores, pumped from deeper deposits, transportation further. The per Capita consumption of energy in a nation can be used as a surrogate for the A X T part of from clearing forests for agriculture to mining, industrial, manufacturing, sanitation, road building and extraction of fossil fuels. The magnitude of greenhouse effect of earth is Ts minus Te, where Ts is actual surface temperature of earth (288 K) and the Te is the earth’s “effective and efficient” blackbody radiation temperature of minus 19°C (254 K) . The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon due to biogenic and anthropogenic sources of a number of gases and aerosols that is responsible for earth having an average surface temperature 34°C warmer that is 288 K Versus 254 K that it would have if it did not have radiatively active gases and aerosols in the atmosphere. As every doubling of logarithmic emission function and process of CO2 in to the atmosphere, the global warming surface temperature goes up of 3 °C, climate sensitivity factor 1 °C / W/m2 and net radiating force 2-4 W/m2. It is important to necessary to conduct climate impact assessment (CIA) process to systematically identify and evaluate potential impacts (effects), risks and options for adaptation resilience and mitigation of biogenic and anthropogenic climate change and document as climate research and development ( R &D) papers. Three of the most significant terms of CIA process are “climate inventory,” “climate impact assessment”, and “climate impact statement”.
The past three decades have been characterized by passage of the Environmental (Protection) Act (EPA) including Acts on control of water and air pollution, solid- and -hazardous waste management, resource protection and soil and groundwater remediation. In addition to EPA, the community strategies were adopted for sustainable development to address climate change, acidification, and air quality, protection of nature and biodiversity , management of water resources , the urban and rural environment , coastal zones and waste management . It is to be ensured that the balanced planning and decision-making process needed regarding the sustainable environmental and climate development in the public interest.
Project planning and decision-making process should include the integrated consideration of technical, economic, environmental, social and climate and other factors. The most of important of these considerations can be referred to as “three E s ” (Engineering or technical, Economics, and Environment ” in project planning and decision making process. Prior to environmental impact assessment (EIA) process or “Magna Carta for the Environment” , Engineering or technical and economic factors can be referred to as “ two E s ” dominated the project planning and decision-making process. Traditional organizations typically management according to the functions in vertical organizational charts. However, when interactions and interrelations occur among parts of a systems that is among functions and departments it is required to manage as per process in horizontal organization charts. A system of profound knowledge provides efficient organizational planning and decision-making process for the management of parts in isolation and process of cross functional boundaries including optimization of climate change process that is fulfil our common goal or vision of integration of development and environment. “Climate Impact Assessment” (CIA) process. CIA process can be defined the systematic identification and evaluation of the potential impacts (effects) of proposed projects, plans, programs, or legislation actions relative to the physical-chemical, biological, cultural and socioeconomic components of the total environment and climate. The primary purpose of the CIA process, is to encourage the consideration of the environment and climate factors in planning and decision-making process and to arrive at actions which are environmentally and climate wise compatible. The climate health impacts of projects, programs, plans, polices, or legislative actions should be considered in the decision-making process because of the importance of these concerns, particularly post COVID world, a climate health impact assessment (CHIA) process is proposed. For certain types of projects such as biogenic plants and nuclear power plants, it may be necessary to address psychological impacts and damages of mental health on human, animals and plants. The emphasis is to given in conduction of primary, secondary and tertiary climate impact studies on the physical-chemical and biological climate (natural or biophysical climate environment) and cultural and socioeconomic environment (man-made climate environment). The global agreements that were adopted on various key issues such as climate change, biodiversity, tropical forests, and sustainable development, Viz., Law of the Seas (1954), Stockholm Declaration (1972), Montreal Protocol (1987), Kyoto Protocol (1987), Rio declaration (1992) and The Paris Agreement (2015).
Key words: climate, change, control, environment, sustainability
